Orlando: Day Ten

Ahead of Saturday evening's Disney Pro Soccer Classic clash with USL-Pro side Orlando City (6:00 p.m. ET/Stream), the Black & Gold played a scrimmage on Saturday morning against MLS rival Sporting Kansas City. The technical staff wanted an extra match to get their players additional minutes, and the Crew delivered, downing Sporting by a final score of 5-2. The Black & Gold had five different goal-scorers, with Shawn Sloan, Ethan Finlay, Justin Meram, Konrad Warzycha and Ben Speas all finding the net.

"It was great for everybody. We got our guys more playing time that we were looking for - some guys got 90 minutes and some got 60 - but it was a good exercise," said Crew Assitant Coach Ricardo Iribarren. "It wasn't the start we were looking for, but we found the way we needed to play and got the result. We're happy with everybody and it was a good win."
